QuietSession is a discreet haptic time-boundary tool for sessions, meetings, talks, coaching calls, consultations, and focused work. It helps you keep track of time without sound, alarms, or visible interruption. Create or choose a preset on iPhone, start a session from iPhone or your paired watch, and receive quiet haptic cues on your wrist as the session approaches its end. If a conversation runs long, a gentle overtime signal repeats until you confirm β€” and the extra minutes are tracked in your history.

About

LifeNudge

Read full description

LifeNudge is a haptic focus tether for Apple Watch. Set an anchor at your workspace; as you physically move away, the watch delivers an escalating haptic "tether" that nudges you back, easing as you return. - Set your anchor with one tap. - Feel a gentle pull as you driftβ€”stronger the farther you go. - All sensing and haptics run on-device. No account, no network, no data leaves your devices. This iPhone app lets you understand and feel the mechanic, and walks you through setup; the focus tether itself runs independently on your Apple Watch. Built privacy-first for deep, distraction-resistant work.
